Default fix for my leg blocking speaker?

Is there a fix for this?

Because my left leg leaning right where the stock speakers are, I could clearly hear the difference when I get the leg out of the way.

I mean, I can't lift my leg to the right and drive like that.

anyone got a good fix for this or are we just all blocking the left speaker?

thanks.

You can cut off your leg... and get a hand clutch...

true true...

I made custom door pods to angle the speakers up a little more and get them outside the door panel. It made a hugh difference.

going to a set of component speakers with the tweeter higher, as
on the newer (was it '02 or '03+?) cars makes a big difference,
as the higher frequencies are the ones most easily blocked.
To install, you can buy a used set of the newer door panels, buy
just the tweeter pods and install them, or do a custom install
(examples are in the install photos thread at the top).

what would you recommend on the headrest speakers and are they hard to install? as far as having amps to power that, etc?

That custom pod is really nice.

That seem to be the ideal thing to do.

throw the speakers on the dash in a custom pod. that makes for the best sound imaging..theorectically anyway.
